Christmas in ’13

Winter is off to a cold start! We had a snow storm that blanketed the Dallas area and brought very cold temperatures. Of course, the boys saw an opportunity to play in the snow and did everything in their power to convince us to let them play outside. It did make for some fun pictures.

To top off the month, Christmas was a great way to end as the boys got several new gifts (some they like, others not as much) and had a great time with Uncle Tim, Aunt Aleta and their cousins Gavin and Kaelyn. Below are some pics from the last few weeks. Merry Christmas to all!

New little Turkey

Baby Logan was born a few months ago and is the boy’s first cousin on Manish’s side of the family. The boys had a very eventful November as they spent quite a bit of time outdoors playing football, riding their bikes and visiting their grandparents and Uncle/Aunt in Austin for Thanksgiving.

Allison & Ryan’s Engagement Session

The weather just could not be any better for photography! This weekend, I took Allison and Ryan’s engagement session at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens. In addition to great weather, the lighting was perfect! Allison and Ryan were great to work with and I am so grateful for the opportunity to shoot their session.

A few favorites…

Munch Munch

Aiden went to Childrens Hospital (Boston) this month and had several tests done (mostly for checkup purposes). Things went well though there are a few concerns.

In the video below, Aiden really enjoys his snack. This is truly how to love what you eat.
